On their way out, they asked around and learned that Finnian and Liliana''s wedding was also booked at the Star Hotel. Feelingpletely jinxed, they decided to find another venue.


    Meanwhile, Emma couldn''t stop thinking about Amara''s scathing words. She was filled with hatred.


    She realized that even though Finnian had agreed to marry Liliana, she still hated Amara-hated her to her very core.


    The sight of Amara made every cell in her body burn with rage, making her want to stab the girl. She had never hated any of Andrew''s other women this intensely.


    Back home, as she sat in the living room, Emma felt increasingly certain that she couldn''t just let Amara go. She took out the file she''d hadpiled on Amara, the one containing flight details and other personal information.


    She had used this information when she arranged for Amara''s kidnapping.


    Emma''s n was to sift through the information again, hoping to find something she could use to attack Amara.


    As she searched, she actually found something that didn''t add up.


    That day Amara flew to Zion, she imed it was for a vacation. But the investigation report showed that she had purchased a four-bedroom house there.


    If it was just a trip, why buy arge house? It was obvious she was nning to settle there.


    But Amara had no family or friends in Zion, and it wasn''t exactly a desirable ce to live. Why would she suddenly abandon the bustling city of Wye for such a deste town?


    Emma''s suspicion grew. She called one of her contacts and ordered them to track every ce Amara had been in thest three months-anywhere her ID or phone number might have left a trace—and bring her the report.


    As the matriarch of the Everly family, Emma was a resourceful woman. Within a single afternoon, the report was delivered.


    Emma flipped through the few thin pages, her eyes widening in shock.


    This... Amara was pregnant?


    Although she didn''t know exactly how far along Amara was, the report showed that she had been visiting an OBGYN for the past two to three months for prenatal check-ups. This meant she was pregnant, and the baby had to be at least three or four months along.


    But whose child was it?


    First, it couldn''t be Finnian''s, or else Amara would have no reason not to let the child have its real father.


    Second, it probably wasn''t Keith''s either. Otherwise, why wouldn''t they announce the pregnancy along with the engagement?


    This could only mean that Amara was pregnant with some other man''s child. In other words, Amara was carrying a bastard!


    Emma put down the report and burst outughing.


    She never expected to uncover this. She was ecstatic, overjoyed.


    That little tramp, Amara! She knew she would find something, and she was right!


    Sheughed for a full ten minutes, clutching her stomach. When she finally stopped, she wiped the tears from her eyes, and her expression slowly turned sinister.


    So, the little tramp was marrying Keith while pregnant. Was she trying to pull a fast one and make Keith the fall guy?


    She had to expose this. She would orchestrate it perfectly to ruin ē Amara''s reputation, making her unmarriageable! She would make it impossible for her to even stay in Wye!


    A girl in her twenties thought she couldpete with her? She could just wait to be destroyed!


    That afternoon, Keith decided to take Amara to meet his parents. Since they were getting married, it was proper for them to meet each other''s families.


    Keith''s father was Nathan West, and his mother was Edith Winters West. They were


    the Chairman and President of the WestWinter Group, respectively.


    As the founder of the group, Nathan had been at its helm for many years. He was a stern-looking middle-aged man with sharp features and the unmistakable aura of a powerf header.
